Power Train · Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The rear axle differential mounting flange may fracture from repeated aggressive launches.
Why it matters: A fractured rear axle mounting flange can cause the rear differential to become misaligned, possibly resulting in failure of the driveshaft and a loss of propulsion, increasing the risk of a crash.
